I take it. gentlemen. that you will be interested in the number of men employed. their wages. and their living conditions. In the Coeur dAlene mining district of Shoshone County. Idaho. there are between 4.500 and 5.000 men actually engaged In mining. That is. in productive mining. The company that I am working forone of the largest in the districtemploys about 600. Of this number 60 per cent are American born. The foreigners we have are mostly Norwegians or Swedes or Cornishmen. all of whom have declared their Intention to become American citizens or are already naturalized. The district is particularly free from Austrians. Italians. and Greeks.
